Two Games Enter 2: The Cage Match

Ah.  Nothing puts me in a better mood than a good game.  And with this latest bounty, the healing process has begun.  The Last of Us, disappointing?  Pffft.  Forget about it!  I got me some better games!

Grand games, indeed.  Which is where you come in, people.  Let’s have a quick little chat, shall we?

So recently, my brother and I grabbed a couple of games.  He got himself a copy of Dragon’s Crown -- sans the artbook he’d been chasing after, but he got his copy nonetheless.  Meanwhile, as a Tales fanboy (and a supporter of JRPGs not named Final Fantasy), I picked up Tales of Xillia.  Now, I haven’t played/analyzed either of them extensively enough for a full-on Let’s Discuss post, but I think I’ve got enough experience with them to put together something.  Or if not enough experience, then enough hype for me to come up with some semi-topical posts.  The problem is that I can’t decide which one to do a post on first.  I like them both, I’ve played them both, and I could say things -- presumably different things -- for either post.  Or maybe by the time the post goes up, it’ll have evolved into a full-on Let’s Discuss post.  Who knows?

So here’s what I’m going to do.  I’ve left the choice up to Cross-Up visitors in the past, so I have no problems leaving it up to you all again.  The first person to comment on this post can help decide which game gets talked about first, while the other gets put on the backburner.  Although, if you miss out on the first strike, you MIGHT be able to sway my choice with an appeal…hmm hmm hmmmmmmmmmm hmm hmm…

Make your choice, brave reader.  What’ll it be?  Will it be the gorgeous-yet-grisly beat-em-up, Dragon’s Crown?  Or would you prefer the latest entry in the series that proves (once again) that JRPGs are still worth a damn, Tales of Xillia? 

(I guess this means that Xenoblade Chronicles post is getting pushed back again.  And poor Ni no Kuni…)

I’ll be waiting for your choice.  So let me hear it!  Or, alternatively, fight it out in the comments section.  There hasn’t been enough of that on Cross-Up -- and as we all know, conflict is what makes the internet go round.

So I'll be heading out.  I've got some preparations to make on my end, so enjoy some of the other content here on the blog.  Or better yet, go and check out Memories of a Dimanagul -- not just because of the I Hraet You guest chapters (which are coming along at a steady pace), but just because there's some fine-ass content over there.  Seriously, those stories?  High-quality stuff.  So go.  Or...you know, stay.  Or just comment here.  Like, comment, and subscribe, as they say.

Also, look forward to a post on breasts this Friday.

…Wait, what?
